[GreenKeys] Shorpy Photo

Wed Nov 20 14:00:36 EST 2013

The  biggest travesty  was  what happened  to  the  PAC bell  SF  
museum.... it  was  huge.... and    had  the  collection for the famous  chinatown  
exchange   also...      .

My  first  14  reperf  with a keyboard and    silver Celluloid  keys   was  
my first ... wish I still had  it one.  one like  it  for old  times 
sake... Larry it  is  in  phoenix metro somewhere  still floating around....   
unless  someone  scrapped it...

My  friend  Dennis Kidder sold it  to me  when  I  visited  hi  in calif  
in the  70's and I had a TU I  got  from Kryder electronics  that used to 
sell Ham  gear here in  phx...  used...  The  14  cost me  25 dollars and   I  
think  the used tube  type TU  was  25   also.     The TU had an odd   
indicator  tube  on it   not a round  eye  but   was  using  bars  to indicate... 
 not a lot of  tubes... and  it   had a polar  relay... gosh  wish I could  
find the plans   for it.

One of  the things that was immediately obvious was how the men and women 
were  dressed.  Women properly attired and the men with ties.  Makes one  
more committed to do more of a professional job if you feel professional  
and are attired as such.

Great collection of photos so a big round  of applause to DMM for his 
efforts.

Were some of those machines  Model 12's, 20's or 26's?  The 14, 15 and 
28's were easily recognized  of course.

Sometimes i think i'd like to have a 14 or 15 printer in the  shack 
here.  Had a real nice 14 tape printer/reperf years ago but  donated it 
to the local telephone museum.  So sad as now the museum  is gone and no 
clue as to what happened to the tty  machines.
